Science

A national database of boreholes including locational and stratigraphic information. Boreholes must have a grid coordinate for every entry. Boreholes known to open file and boreholes unrecorded in open file are included, particularly boreholes drilled by the GSI. A number of...

Science

The Quaternary geology of Ireland – Sediments Map is a representation of the surficial geology of Ireland at a scale of 1 to 50,000. The map shows the sediments mapped within 1 metre of the surface which were laid down during the Quaternary, bedrock at or close to the surface...

Science

This dataset was generated as part of the Geological Mapping programme’s 1:50k re-mapping compilation. This dataset is built on the existing Bedrock Borehole Locations dataset with numerous corrections of the entries and a compilation of previously uncaptured drillholes....

Science

This database contains records of boreholes, dug wells, springs, and site investigations. Data are derived from GSI drilling, fieldwork and surveys, Local Authorities and other state bodies, Private Well Grants, Drillers, Consultants, Group Water Schemes and Academia. It is...

Science

Water tracing involves tagging water to see where it goes. The time the tracers take to get from one point to the other is also usually recorded. It is most commonly used in karst environments to ascertain groundwater flow rates, directions and catchment definitions (Zone of...

Science

The Groundwater Subsoil Permeability map classifies how easy water can infiltrate subsoils downwards at any point in the land surface. Permeability across the country is classified as either ‘High’, ‘Moderate’ or ‘Low’. This map is used to determine groundwater vulnerability...

Science

This Hydrostratigraphic Rock Unit Groups map is a reclassification of the 1:100,000 bedrock geology map, created by grouping bedrock formations and members into 27 Rock Unit Group categories based on their hydrogeological properties and other factors.

Science

Two Source Protection Areas (SPAs) are delineated. The Inner Protection Area (SI), designed to protect against the effects of human activities that might have an immediate effect on the source and, in particular, against microbial pollution. The Outer Protection Area (SO),...

Science

Different aquifers have differing abilities to store and transmit water. Based on the hydrogeological characteristics and on the value of the groundwater resource, GSI has classified Ireland’s land surface into aquifer categories.
GSI Aquifer classes are divided into three...

Science

The national Groundwater Recharge Map depicts estimated recharge to the deep groundwater system, i.e. groundwater that can be tapped as the sustainable resource.
The main hydrogeological controls on groundwater recharge include subsoil permeability, subsoil thickness,...

Science

The verified drill holes dataset is a cartographic representation of the collar coordinates of Geological Survey Ireland drill holes combined with a new compilation of historical mineral exploration holes from the Open File system.

Science

This dataset contains a coverage for all mapped and digitised glacial trimline (ice free)areas, which were not glaciated during the last glaciation, for the island of Ireland.
The map forms part of the GSI Quaternary Map series. Data recorded on the maps includes the locations...
